SOCHI, Russia -- The United States didn't strike gold at the Sanki Sliding Center, but it made a lot of history.

From Erin Hamlin's first-ever American medal in singles luge to Steven Holcomb's drought-ending bobsled runs, the sliding sports accounted for some of Team USA's most memorable moments in the Caucasus Mountains.

"Dreams are a scary thing, because there is always a chance you won't accomplish them," said Steve Langton, who won bronze in both the two-man and four-man bobsled events. "Then there are days like these that make it all worth it."
